Arganthia — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Arganthia is an extra large Shadow of Death map measuring 144 by 144 with an underground level, rated Expert. It supports eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The factions are assigned one per player: Castle, Tower, Inferno, Rampart, Stronghold, Necropolis, Fortress and Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers about 28 percent of the terrain, with water at 16 percent, grass at 15 percent and subterranean ground at 8 percent. The map holds 29 towns, 135 mines, 55 monoliths and portals, and 41 creature banks, along with wandering elementals and golems, and a range of placed artifacts such as Angel Wings and Boots of Speed. The author describes a continent-wide war driven by rival kingdoms and a spreading undead plague.
